Hi there, hope you had a fun weekend. Lots going on weather wise, we just had some rain and then the usual January gray skies. I hate to tease about the Splendid Sampler but by now the designers have seen a few blocks and they're super cute, and I think you guys are going to like them.

I did do some sewing. I like how my cute rabbit turned out. I was a little bit afraid of the ears not contrasting enough, but it worked out ok. I like the idea of it being a big disguised in the flowers.

I felt like I was really on top of the ear situation this time. I stitched them up, didn't need to rip a stitch. Of course once I tried to match the ears with the eye unit.. well that's when I realized that I had cut the inner ear too narrow on the right. So I took that section off, and cut a new one and got almost done when I realized... I'd made a left ear. OHMYGOSH. Except I said something not as nice. So I had to cut another ear. DARNIT. THOSE EARS. FRUSTRATING. Especially because they aren't hard.

But it all worked out. My rabbit is done and I've decided maybe to set this aside for a day or two. Try and get over my problems.

In the mean time, I check out my photo on instagram... doesn't it look like my Splendid Sampler colors?
